Support

Discontinued Products

Below you will find an archive of Nikon microscope products that are no longer manufactured or have been replaced with more current technologies. Although replacement repair parts and accessories for some of these products are still available, many may no longer have residual inventory and therefore, Nikon will be unable to provide support. Should you have a need for replacement parts or service, links have been provided to request assistance for these products on a case-by-case basis.

The level of service and support for a discontinued product will be subject to the specific service needs and availability of replacement parts. Our goal is to provide the highest level of service possible for each individual product.

In the event that Nikon is unable to provide support for these products, a link to each product's current version is provided to help review replacement options and upgrade possibilities.
